Has that fricking renno arrived yet?

I have a dilemma.. off to a mates in a couple of weeks. It's about 130miles

e
SCS2
NAS2

I'm gonna be honest and say the e is nicer on a trott but charging shit. The other two are noisey and uncomfortable

I imagine it will rain, based on current weather

Target is east London. Maybe a chargey jaunt is due?

The fracking Reno is still parked in a field that will for ever remain a part of England !

at least the Qashqui has gone up in value according to car wow lol

so it’s no trucks , no drivers and no no alarm .

 

Jesus these places are dysfunctional. Do they wanna sell you a car? I'd be hiring a transporter and dragging it down if that were me

Big companies hiding lazy twats

I have a route plan for a trip to london, this will be an interesting plan, about 250 miles round trip so I need 3 charges probably as I don't sit there at 50-60.. so 68 miles in charge 1, charge 2 at the destination, charge 3 will be a short boost to get me home

It will be the first time this year I have exceeded its range

 

My new Jizz is consistently returning 57mpg.

I'm not planning on leaving the BEV fold completely in the short term and have an Ioniq 5N incoming--not sure when it's due or how much it's going to cost, but will update everyone as and when.

Can't say 650ps is not appealing, but hoping it's not just a one trick pony....

I quite like them in certain colours, I think Korea are turning out some genuinely good cars ATM

​​​​​​the Uber powered ones don't really appeal to me though, this is a family car (for me). I would only get earache on the left hand side. Even that big e Porsche doesn't appeal, confused proposition as no sports car weighs 2200kg.

But then I'm not down with the crowd, i'm sure it will be racing lambos on carwow the minute it lands

 

Even Caterham are getting in on the act. This little beauty half the weight of the Ioniq N at just 1190kg
Main battery is distributed to allow a low driver position and RWD.
3rd seat centrally behind the driver and passenger.

 

I love the simplicity of leccy cars but a leccy sports car is a leap for me

I do like the e though and would now have another BEV I think (which is not where I was a few months ago)

I would not buy a hybrid, my neighbours lease Toyota chr had the RAC out the other day.. a Toyota! It's about a year old...

 

The key to your change of heart Jason was in your wallet methinks.

Charging overnight at 7.5p/unit is a big saving.

 

100%

but I also appreciate limited annual intervention and no warm up.. and the piss easy nature of it to drive

I remember after the S2 had been off the road for brake lines thinking how hard it was to drive.. heavy steering, heavy clutch, grumpy cold, ride like a steam roller

The little e did that. I always consider it as 22p a kWh as that is my average.. or was should be lower now at c16p I guess

 

Ooooh , the Reno has been off loaded at the dealer this lunch time , with alarm fitted, picking it up next Wednesday !
